I believe you’re thinking of the VQ35, which makes used Infinity drivers think the world revolves around them

The other V35 variations apparently have crankshafts that aren’t able to rotate. The whole engine has to spin.

You’re in Florida (presumably) so that is a bit surprising. Up here in NY with the rust issues I’m not surprised there aren’t many automatics around that people just didn’t find worthy of saving. Down there, I don’t know. Maybe people just love them too much and don’t want to sell them?

I thought GM was being greedy and idiotic by launching all the higher spec trims of the Blaze, Silverado, and Equinox first. It almost sounds now like they wanted slow sales, either because of platform issues, manufacturing issues, or just a slow ramp up in manufacturing. Still - the gap between the end of Bolt sales…

Between the condition, the miles, and the lovely neighborhood it’s parked in, I’m thinking this has spent it’s time mostly garaged and hasn’t seen any salt.

Then we’ll see who’s scrambling to build small cars again and who *really* wanted everyone to move into crossovers.

But that’s not always the case. There are plenty of scenarios where people compare multiple vehicles (most households having more than 1 vehicle in the US). People could, say, look at their 20 yr old v10 F-250 that gets 8mpg versus a new F-250 and see that only gets 12mpg, what a shitty upgrade that would be! Maybe…

It’s an AMG with good heat and a new battery! What else do you want to know?!?!? 

I think it’s physical condition and mileage matches the price.

That’s a great answer. I wasn’t thinking big enough - and a Panamera or AMG wagon would be wonderful choices.

Seriously. The number of wildly positive reviews that say something like “I only had to intervene twice when the car tried to make an illegal left and after it killed a pedestrian” is astounding.

To add to that - a lot of people dismiss the uncomfortable 3rd rows by saying they won’t need them normally and it’s nice to have in a pinch. So you’re giving up that trunk space for seating that isn’t normally used. You could stow or remove that 3rd row and then you get a nice sized trunk - that’s much smaller than a…

A quick google shows that’s a $28k camper (maybe it has some upgrades, but it’s also not brand new, so let’s just say it’s worth that) on a, what, $10k truck? If I’m being generous?

60 days seems reasonable for the speeding part, as do the restrictions after his release. But....

I thought the “Monkey” name was used for the 50cc bikes, but a quick google makes it seem to be a bit vague how it was applied.

Oh say can you see,

I wouldn’t try to sell a 2001 Civic with a CEL, much less something of actual value.

A different way to look at that would be:

When that X5 was new, diesels were still ramping up in popularity for highway cruisers with great fuel economy - but that was before Dieselgate. They’ve since fallen out of favor for hybrids, which are better for 95% of drivers and that last 5% is getting murdered at the fuel pump these days.

I don’t know if it’ll get to that, but we shall see.
